  • Overcurrent protection for energy storage and power supply system
    Patent number: 10547035
    Abstract: An energy and power supply device includes an energy storage unit configured to store electrical energy, an output coupled to the energy storage unit and configured to provide an output electrical current to a load, and a current limiting system configured to selectively limit the output electrical current according to a current protection profile. The current protection profile includes a plurality of threshold currents and a plurality of corresponding threshold periods of time that facilitate providing the output electrical current according to a maximum variable current versus time function.
    Type: Grant

  • Energy storage and power supply system
    Patent number: 9923393
    Abstract: An energy storage and power supply system includes a body having a first end and an opposing second end, a battery pack disposed within the body, a first connector disposed at the first end of the body and electrically coupled to the battery pack, the first connector including a male connector configured to receive electrical power to charge the battery pack, a second connector disposed at the opposing second end of the body and electrically coupled to the battery pack, the second connector including a female connector configured to provide a power output from the battery pack, and a collar slidably coupled to the opposing second end of the body and movable between an extended position and a retracted position. The collar is configured to engage with and thereby retain an accessory when selectively reoriented into the extended position.
